WOMEN TEA-BIBBERS.
There is a real problem behind the übiquitous teapot among women clerks in Government departments, so roundly condemned by Mr. C. J. Stewart, the Public Trustee. “I feel strong, ly,” he says ; “that the heads of the Departments and other employers should meet and discuss this problem. I put down the increase in sickness of our clerical staff —from 3-sths to 10 per cent —almost wholly to tea-drink-ing. It is the duty of employers to ensure a sufficiency of food, so that the need for the stimulant of tea may no longer exist. We have a canteen here where a girl may get a good meat and vegetable dinner for IOcT, and. I forbid tea to be served before five o’clock.”
